The annoying thing is PDFs display much better when they are sideloaded. But there is no option for handwriting on the PDF or using sticky notes like with regular ebooks. You can use it to add highlights, turn pages, add text notes using the on-screen keyboard, etc. In this case the stylus basically functions as a finger. KOReader can use Calibre Metadata, but for 1000s of documents it's painful compared to Kobo or Kindle, worse even than old Sony PRS-x50 series.īut Collections & Series can be pain on Kindle compared with Kobo managed by Calibre.However, if you sideload PDFs using USB you won’t be able to write on them using the stylus. Even Pocketbook and Lithium are poor Library GUI. I've not seen any Android App or ereader with as good Library interface as Kobo (MyBooks + search) or even Kindle. The Kindle & Kobo USB MS mode is far better than Android's USB MTP (I have the Boyue Mars Android eink with later OS/Android version). Do you have the 10.3″ Boox? Does the Wacom pen work fully with Android apps that use a digitiser like Nebo (it should)?Īlso Kobo is better supported by Calibre than any other ereader. It's not an issue on any Kobo that runs recent FW.ĭoes the Boox have native handwriting, shape & maths recognition? Kobo Sage & Elipsa use the Nebo app, but the free version for iPad is less features, the bought version on Android & iPad is similar. The amount of RAM is only an issue for Android Apps. I've also installed KOReader on an Android eInk and the Kobo was just as easy to install on. I've used two kinds of Wacom pen (traditional and EMR on reMarkable), I think the MS Surface compatible pen used by Kobo is better.īefore the changing page page while cropped was added it was trivial to use KOReader on Kobo. The battery is about 30c and lasts months. It's worse than the built in Neoreader for PDFs though. KOreader is easy to install if you want that because it just runs Android. Better pen (Wacom battery less), warmlight, faster processor and more RAM and already had features for changing the page while autocropped. The Boox devices are better than the Elipsa. The Scribe might be best, but we don't know yet. Forget a S/H Kindle DX or DXG because though 9.7″ it's really slow and too low resolution, any 6.8″ or 7″ 300 dpi ereader is better.Įlipsa is best for Calibre Library management and has native handwriting recognition, though only in separate notebooks. The Boox might be somewhere between Elipsa and reMarkable in usability, but I don't have one, so not sure. Likely both reMarkables are worst of the 227 dpi 10.3″ ereaders due to only 6G Flash, only Network USB (so you use a browser or their app which is limited platforms). The Kobo Sage 8″ actually has more pixels than all the 10.3″ ereaders as it's 300 dpi and they are all 227 dpi, but the as yet not available 10.2″ Kindle Scribe is 300 dpi, it might be best.Ī second hand original reMarkable has prior, home & next buttons and will auto OTA upgrade to similar FW to the reMarkable 2 and has same storage. The Elipsa has improved lately adding the "change page while margins cropped (zoom)" feature, but KOReader is easy to install. The reMarkable has a nice PDF reader but a total pain to put files on or off and has only a file browser.
